SALVAGED LIVE EDGE SLABS
With the opening of our new Richmond lumber yard and showroom in late 2021 (and now finally with some space to spread our wings and expand our product offerings), The Lumber Baron will be stocking a number of different salvaged live edge slabs. Few know this, but before my father started The Lumber Baron in 1978, he was The Earl of Burl and traveled cross country in a VW bus, selling redwood burl tables and M.C. Escher prints. It was on this business endeavor that he met my Mother in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1975.
From curly grain Redwood, to Monkey Pod, Walnut, Maple, Elm, Acacia, Sycamore, Cottonwood and more, we’re excited to be coming full circle as a company to offer some amazing salvaged live edge slabs. We will be dedicated to salvaging only the very best grain composition, figure, and curl, keeping as much of this awesome material out of shredding machines and chippers as possible.
HOW TO PURCHASE
Once dry and available for sale, each live edge slab will be numbered and listed under the “Slab” section of our website. Click on the numbered slab you are interested in for close up Youtube video. You can call in to receive pricing over the phone. Our slabs can weigh in excess of 500 pounds and are obviously not easy to move, therefore they are not available for viewing without a deposit. We spend a lot of time cleaning, measuring, and making the videos of our slabs. Please take advantage of them.
We do have samples of each of the various slabs as well as premade tables in our Richmond showroom. Slab flattening and surfacing services will also be available December 2024.
